User talk:Trappingnoobs

Welcome to my talk page. I'd preffer if you edited put new discussions under a level-2 heading. Please use colons to tab your relpies too. Thanks :D

Signature

Could you add a timestamp to your signature? The two ways to do this are either to sign off with four tildes, or include {{<includeonly>subst:</includeonly>timestamp<noinclude>|=</noinclude>}} in your signature template.

Yeah, I'll need to make a user page, currently I'm just using code I put in the input box.

Ok, think I've done it. Just testing it

Seems to work fine. Optionally, you could set it up like mine, so that you can update the style in future. Not necessary though, and more vulnerable to vandalism.

The tabs above

Although the concept is fine, it doesn't apply well to a talk page. Firstly, the + at the top adds a new section by default. More importantly though, the tabs have a bug / feature in them that means that you can't have headings inside the tabs, and therefore you lose the edit links. That makes it tricky to reply to responses.

Aww it removes the titles? D:

I'm afraid so. You could still add some level 1 headings to split up the comments into four categories.

Nah, it's fine. I just used those because it saved space, but I don't mind losing them.

Any idea why the link in my signature isn't working though? It's valid syntax but it doesn't even highlight red or blue when I hover it. :L

Because this IS the talk page! Wiki syntax doesn't link links that link to their containing page
